In this episode we speak to Lena Desaubin the owner of Domaine Desaubins who has successfully merged her passion for the environment and sustainability with her small hotel at her home off the coast of South Mahe, the main island of the Seychelles archipelago. The result is an eco-friendly tourism establishment set in a lush tropical garden which in itself is some kind of arboretum, full of endemic trees and flowers of the Seychelles islands.

In this episode we celebrate World Environment Day by speaking to Dr. Victorin Laboudallon who is a well-known Seychellois and who has dedicated almost half of his life in environment and conservation.
World Environment Day is celebrated on the 5th of June. This year’s theme is “Land Restoration, Desertification and Drought Resilience.” Growing up in the lush tropical forest of Sans Soucis, on the island of Mahé with his grandmother who worked in forestry, Dr. Victorin Laboudallon developed a passion for nature and the environment. This has led him to dedicate almost 40 years of his life to work in nature conservation and environment protection especially in forestry and ornithology. Dr. Laboudallon has also published many books on the flora and fauna of the Seychelles. He is one of the rare people to have set foot on all 115 islands of the archipelago. 15 years ago he set up an NGO called Terrestrial Restoration Action Society of Seychelles (TRASS).
